STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS LINDA MARIAN LECLAIR, UNPUBLISHED August 16, 2002 Plaintiff-Appellant, v No. 229728 Berrien Circuit Court LC No. 94-003848-DM GHOLAMREZA SHAREGHI, Defendant-Appellee. Before: Neff, P.J., and White and Owens, JJ. WHITE, J. (concurring in part and dissenting in part). The record shows that although there was a $142,000 balance in the Kemper account when the action was filed, defendant withdrew a total of $199,000 from the account while the action was pending. Apparently the account increased in value during the pendency of the litigation. Since this was a joint asset, defendant should not have been accorded the entire benefit of the increased value of the account. I would remand to correct this error. Regarding alimony, I conclude that given the length of the marriage, the disparity in the parties’ earnings, and the court’s recognition that defendant’s income would likely increase in the near future, the court’s limitation of alimony to an additional $750 for two years was inadequate. /s/ Helene N.
